What is the main difference between an OMVIC "inspector" and an "investigator"?

Inspectors can lay charges if warranted
Inspectors are like auditors; Investigators are like police officers
Investigators can inspect a dealer's premises
Investigators can only conduct investigations with complaints

The correct answer is: Inspectors are like auditors; Investigators are like police officers

The main difference between an OMVIC inspector and an investigator is the scope of their roles. Inspectors are responsible for auditing and ensuring compliance with regulations, while investigators are responsible for conducting investigations into specific complaints. Option A is incorrect because inspectors do not have the authority to lay charges, only to report any potential violations to law enforcement. Option C is incorrect because both inspectors and investigators can inspect a dealer's premises. Option D is incorrect because investigators have the authority to conduct investigations with or without a complaint, as long as there is reason to believe a violation may have occurred.
